Dear Dietrich

[johnh]

This one had to be a sticky. It simply will not be as fun a place without Dietrich. He has been with the forum from nearly the beginning, and has played a major role in making it the kind of place it is. My thoughts are with our good friend and his family. Having been through this with my own loved ones, I know how hard this must be for all of them.

Hey, Dietrich!
I just emailed over 500 people in my church and asked them to pray specifically for you. We are asking the Lord to give you and your family the comfort, guidance and peace that can only come from trusting Him. Hang in there, friend! We all love you!

A direct message from Dietrich

Joe,Tell the other guys and yourself this info.I have put my complete faith and my life into the hands of God.We are hoping the chemo treatments will slow the cancer down and possibly stop it, give me more strength and ability to do things around the house.I really would like to do some Christmas shopping on my own for Helen and be able to help out around the house.Chemo works different on each patient so it is a crap shoot as to how I do and if I don`t do all that well with one,they`ll change to another.I had my first treatment yesterday and had no ill effects except for feeling worn out since then but they said to expect that.They said I would start to feel better later in the week and hopefully stronger as time goes by.I have God on my side,a wonderful family and friends praying and rooting for me,along with a great group like you guys raising hell in the back.Joe,I`ve got pretty much all a guy could hope for.Y`all just keep praying and I`ll keep in touch.If you want to just post this e-mail on the forum ,.do that


This email really made my day.

Dear Dietrich,

In very simple ways you've been a friend to me individually, and an inspiration to us all. Please know that you are in my prayers as well.

In my own family, my mom was diagnosed with inoperable cancer but we found a doctor up here at Johns Hopkins who was pioneering some new surgical techniques. He added many long years to her life, and I wish the same for you too my friend.

God bless.

Made my day too. And night. Probably week.

Content no matter the circumstances. Check. Support of family and friends. Check. Trusting in and relying on God and leaving it in His capable hands. Check. I didn't expect any different from good ol' Dietrich. Thanks for making our night.

Dietrich, hang in there. We're rooting for you and hope that the doctors can find a treatment combination to get you on the mend.

Take care, my friend.

Lifting you up DD. Don't know what I can do, but K'dale is only a couple hours away if you needed anything...

I'm so saddened about this, not only is he a member of the Kahrtalk family, but he's a fellow NCian to me...Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Hopefully he's going to a great hospital to get some good treatment and they can slow it down and at least hold it off from growing anymore....

May God speed Dietrich on what ever course He takes him. My prayers are for the best of outcomes. One day all of us will die. How or when you die is of little consequence. It's how you lived that's important.

Thoughts and prayers are with Dietrich.
